PAINEWBBER EQUITY TRUST, GROWTH STOCK SERIES
SIXTEEN
(The New Growth Stocks) - PART A
Brief Description of the Trust's Investment
Portfolio
1. The Trust's Objective.
The Trust seeks to provide capital appreciation
through an investment primarily in a portfolio of
common stocks issued by a variety of domestic,
multi-national and foreign companies.
PaineWebber selected the stocks in the Trust's
Portfolio on November 10, 1994 by choosing stocks
it believed were "growth stocks", meaning those
stocks whose earnings growth rate is greater than
that of the market as a whole, as measured
against the Standard & Poor's 500 Index*.
PaineWebber chose these stocks for their capital
appreciation potential, not for their income
potential. Many of the stocks currently pay
little or no dividend income.
As of October 31, 1998, 100% of the Trust's
Portfolio was invested in common stocks as
described briefly below.
2. Brief Description of the Trust's Portfolio.
The Trust plans to hold until its termination a
diversified portfolio of stocks which PaineWebber
believed were likely to benefit from certain
trends it identified in November 1994. These
included the proliferation of personal computers,
the aging of the U.S. population and the
expansion of consumer growth in Europe and other
foreign markets. Unless terminated sooner, the
Trust is scheduled to terminate on January 20,
2000 regardless of market conditions at the time.
The Trust is a unit investment trust which means
that, unlike a mutual fund, the Trust's Portfolio
is not managed and stocks are not sold because of
market changes.
On October 31, 1998, the aggregate market value
of the Trust Portfolio was $7,351,532. The common
stocks in the Trust's Portfolio have been issued
by companies who receive income and derive
revenues from multiple industry sources, but
whose primary industry is listed in the "Schedule
of Investments" in this Prospectus Part A.

Is this Trust Appropriate for You?
Yes, if you are seeking capital
appreciation over the life of the Trust by
investing in common stocks issued by companies
which PaineWebber selected for their growth
potential. You will benefit from a professionally
selected portfolio whose risk is reduced by
investing in stocks of several different issuers.
No, if you want a speculative investment
that changes to take advantage of market
movements, if you are unable or unwilling to
assume the risks involved generally with equity
investments or if you need current income.
Summary of Risks
You can lose money by investing in the
Trust. This can happen for various reasons. A
further discussion of the risks summarized below
can be found in Part B of this Prospectus.
1. Risks of Investing in the Trust
Certain risks are involved with an
investment in a unit trust which holds common
stocks. For example:
The Trust, unlike a mutual fund, is not "managed"
and stocks will not be sold by the Trust to take
advantage of market fluctuations.
The Trust Portfolio may not remain constant
during the life of the Trust. The Trustee may be
required to sell stocks to pay Trust expenses, to
tender stocks under certain circumstances or to
sell stocks in the event certain negative events
occur.
The sale of stocks from the Trust in the period
prior to termination and upon termination may
result in a lower amount than might otherwise be
realized if such sale were not required at such
time due to impending or actual termination of
the Trust. For this reason, among others, the
amount you receive upon termination may be less
than the amount you paid.
If many investors sell their Units, the Trust
will have to sell stocks. This could reduce the
diversification of your investment and increase
your share of Trust expenses.
The price of your Units depends upon the full
range of economic and market influences including
the prices of equity securities, the condition of
the stock markets and other economic influences
that affect the global or United States economy.
Assuming no changes occur in the prices of the
stocks held by the Trust, the price you paid for
your Units will generally be less than the price
you paid because your purchase price included a
sales charge.
The stocks in the Trust's Portfolio will
generally trade on a domestic stock exchange or
in the over-the-counter market. PaineWebber
cannot assure you that a liquid trading market
will exist. The value of the Trust's Portfolio,
and of your investment, may be reduced if trading
in one or more stocks is limited or absent.
Additional stocks and Treasury obligations may be
acquired by the Trust when additional Units are
to be offered to the public. Costs incurred in
acquiring such additional stocks and Treasury
obligations will be borne by the Trust.
Unitholders will experience a dilution of their
investment as a result of such brokerage fees and
other expenses paid by the Trust during the
additional deposits of securities purchased by
the Trustee with cash or cash equivalents.
2. Risks of Investing in Stocks
Investing always involves risk. The risks
described below are the most significant risks
associated with investing in the stocks held by
the Trust.
Holders of common stocks such as those held by
the Trust have rights that are generally inferior
to the holders of debt obligations or preferred
stocks.
Common stocks are not obligations of the issuer.
Therefore, they do not provide any assurance of
income or provide the degree of protection of
debt securities.
The stocks held by the Trust can be expected to
fluctuate in value depending on a wide variety of
factors, such as economic and market influences
affecting corporate profitability, financial
condition of issuers, changes in worldwide or
national economic conditions, the prices of
equity securities in general and the Trust's
stocks in particular.
Certain of the Stock in the Trust are American
Depositary Receipts or "ADRs" which are subject
to additional risks. (See "Schedule of
Investments" herein). ADRs are subject to certain
investment risks that are different from those
experienced by Stocks issued by domestic issuers.
These investment risks include potential future
political and economic developments and the
potential establishment of exchange controls, new
or higher levels of taxation, or other
governmental actions which might adversely affect
the payment or receipt of payment of dividends on
the common stock of foreign issuers underlying
such ADRs. ADRs may also be subject to current
foreign taxes, which could reduce the yield on
such securities.
The securities underlying the ADRs held in the
Trust are generally denominated, and pay
dividends, in foreign currency and are therefore
subject to currency exchange rate risk. Currency
exchange rate risk occurs because the U.S. dollar
value of the shares underlying the ADRs and of
their dividends will vary with the fluctuations
in the U.S. dollar foreign exchange rates for the
relevant currency in which the shares underlying
the ADRs are denominated. Exchange rate
fluctuations are dependent on a number of
economic factors including the world economy and
the economic conditions within the relevant
country, supply and demand of the relevant
currency, interest rate differentials between
currencies, the balance of imports and exports of
goods and services, monetary and fiscal policies
of the relevant country, perceived political
stability and investor psychology, especially
that of institutional investors predicting the
future relative strength or weakness of a
particular currency.
Year 2000 Problem Risk
Many computer systems were designed in such a way
that they may be unable to distinguish between
the year 2000 and the year 1900 and therefore may
not properly process and calculate date-related
information and data (commonly known as the "Year
2000 Problem"). As with all investment and
financial companies, the Year 2000 Problem may
have an adverse impact upon the Trust. The
Sponsor and the Trustee are taking steps to
address the year 2000 Problem with respect to the
computer systems they use and to obtain
reasonable assurances that similar steps are
being taken by the Trust's other service
providers. At this time, however, there can be no
assurance that these steps will be sufficient to
avoid any adverse impact to the Trust. The year
2000 Problem is expected to have an impact on all
corporations, including those whose stocks are
contained in the Trust's Portfolio. The Sponsor
cannot predict what impact, if any, the year 2000
Problem will have on the stocks in the Trust.

PAINEWEBBER EQUITY TRUST
GROWTH STOCK SERIES 16
PROSPECTUS PART B
PART B OF THIS PROSPECTUS MAY NOT BE
DISTRIBUTED UNLESS ACCOMPANIED BY PART A.
Part B contains a description of the important
features of the PaineWebber Equity Trust Growth
Stock Series 16 and also includes a more detailed
discussion of the investment risks that a
Unitholder might face while holding Trust Units.
THE COMPOSITION OF THE PORTFOLIO
In November 1994, PaineWebber's research
professionals identified the five following
trends or themes which it believed would foster
heightened growth prospects for companies
affected by such trends or themes over the next
several years:
1. U.S. Demographics - both the predicted
increase in the number of Americans aged
35-55 and the forecast growth in the U.S.
Hispanic market up to the turn of the next
century.
2. Healthcare - both the predicted increase
in the healthy but aging populations of the
U.S., Western Europe and Japan and the
advances in health-related technologies.
3. Emerging Markets Consumerism - the
world-wide increase in populations with
disposable income and cooperative
international trade agreements which foster
increases in living standards.
4. Emerging Markets Infrastructure -
increased demand by emerging economies for
new or improved infrastructure development,
such as highways, airports, electricity,
sewage and communications systems.
5. The Information Highway - increased
demand for personal computers and the
hardware, software and content providers
for personal computers.
Taking all of these factors described above into
account, PaineWebber's research professionals
have selected certain stocks in the industries
listed below which they believed would benefit
from their participation in one or more of the
five themes, described above, which are expected
to be the leaders of the next growth cycle. In
PaineWebber's search for such potential growth
stocks, there was no particular bias toward large
capitalization or small capitalization issues. In
PaineWebber's view, the list below which they
have assembled is fairly evenly distributed among
small-capitalization, mid-capitalization and
large-capitalization stocks. These are common
stocks issued by companies who may receive income
and derive revenues from multiple industry
sources but whose primary industry is listed in
the "Schedule of Investments."
ABOUT THE TRUST
The Trust is one of a series of similar but
separate unit investment trusts created under New
York law by the Sponsor pursuant to a Trust
Indenture and Agreement* (the "Indenture") dated
as of the Initial Date of Deposit, between
PaineWebber Incorporated, as Sponsor and
Investors Bank & Trust Company and The First
National Bank of Chicago, N.A., as Co-Trustees
(the "Trustee"). The objective of the Trust is
capital appreciation through an investment
principally in equity stocks having, in Sponsor's
opinion on the Initial Date of Deposit, potential
for capital appreciation.
On the Initial Date of Deposit, the Sponsor
deposited with the Trustee confirmations of
contracts for the purchase of Stocks together
with an irrevocable letter or letters of credit
of a commercial bank or banks in an amount at
least equal to the purchase price. The value of
the Securities was determined on the basis
described under "Valuation". In exchange for the
deposit of the contracts to purchase Securities,
the Trustee delivered to the Sponsor a receipt
for Units representing the entire ownership of
the Trust.
*Reference is hereby made to said Trust Indenture
and Agreement and any statements contained herein
are qualified in their entirety by the provisions
of said Trust Indenture and Agreement.
With the deposit on the Initial Date of Deposit,
the Sponsor established a proportionate
relationship between the Securities in the Trust.
The Sponsor may, from time to time, cause the
deposit of additional Securities in the Trust
when additional Units are to be offered to the
public or pursuant to the Reinvestment Plan,
maintaining, as closely as practicable, the
original percentage relationship between the
Securities deposited on the Initial Date of
Deposit and replicating any cash or cash
equivalents held by the Trust (net of expenses).
The original proportionate relationship is
subject to adjustment to reflect the occurrence
of a stock split or a similar event which affects
the capital structure of the issuer of a Stock
but which does not affect the Trust's percentage
ownership of the common stock equity of such
issuer at the time of such event, to reflect a
sale or maturity of Security or to reflect a
merger or reorganization. Stock dividends issued
in lieu of cash dividends, if any, received by
the Trust will be sold by the Trustee and the
proceeds therefrom shall be added to the Income
Account. (See "Administration of the Trust" and
"Reinvestment Plan").
On the Initial Date of Deposit each Unit
represented the fractional undivided interest in
the Securities and net income of the Trust set
forth under "Essential Information Regarding the
Trust". However, if additional Units are issued
by the Trust (through the deposit of additional
Securities for purposes of the sale of additional
Units or pursuant to the Reinvestment Plan), the
aggregate value of Securities in the Trust will
be increased and the fractional undivided
interest represented by each Unit in the balance
will be decreased. Costs incurred in acquiring
such additional Stocks which are either not
listed on any national securities exchange or are
ADRs or Foreign Stocks, including brokerage fees,
stamp taxes and certain costs associated with
foreign trading incurred in purchasing such
additional Stocks, will be borne by the Trust.
(See "Risk Factors and Special Considerations").
If any Units are redeemed, the aggregate value of
Securities in the Trust will be reduced, and the
fractional undivided interest represented by each
remaining Unit in the balance will be increased.
Units will remain outstanding until redeemed upon
tender to the Trustee by any Unitholder (which
may include the Sponsor) or until the termination
of the Trust. (See "Termination of the Trust".)
RISK FACTORS AND SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
An investment in Units of the Trust should be
made with an understanding of the risks inherent
in an investment in common stocks in general. The
general risks are associated with the rights to
receive payments from the issuer which are
generally inferior to creditors of, or holders of
debt obligations or preferred stocks issued by,
the issuer. Holders of common stocks have a right
to receive dividends only when and if, and in the
amounts, declared by the issuer's board of
directors and to participate in amounts available
for distribution by the issuer only after all
other claims against the issuer have been paid or
provided for. By contrast, holders of preferred
stocks have the right to receive dividends at a
fixed rate when and as declared by the issuer's
board of directors, normally on a cumulative
basis, but do not anticipate in other amounts
available for distribution by the issuing
corporation. Dividends on cumulative preferred
stock must be paid before any dividends are paid
on common stock. Preferred stocks are also
entitled to rights on liquidation which are
senior to those of common stocks. For these
reasons, preferred stocks generally entail less
risk than common stocks.
Common stocks do not represent an obligation of
the issuer. Therefore they do not offer any
assurance of income or provide the degree of
protection of debt securities. The issuance of
debt securities or even preferred stock by an
issuer will create prior claims for payment of
principal, interest and dividends which could
adversely affect the ability and inclination of
the issuer to declare or pay dividends on its
common stock or the rights of holders of common
stock with respect to assets of the issuer upon
liquidation or bankruptcy. Unlike debt securities
which typically have a stated principal amount
payable at maturity, common stocks do not have a
fixed principal amount or a maturity.
Additionally, the value of the Stock in the Trust
may be expected to fluctuate over the life of the
Trust.
In addition, there are investment risks common
to all equity issues. The Stocks may appreciate
or depreciate in value depending upon a variety
of factors, including the full range of economic
and market influences affecting corporate
profitability, the financial condition of
issuers, changes in national or worldwide
economic conditions, and the prices of equity
securities in general and the Stocks in
particular. Distributions of income, generally
made by declaration of dividends, is also
dependent upon several factors, including those
discussed above in the preceding sentence.
Certain of the Stocks in the Trust are ADRs and
Foreign Stocks, which are subject to additional
risks. (See "Schedule of Investments" herein.)
ADRs evidence American Depositary Shares, which,
in turn, represent common stock of foreign
issuers deposited with a custodian in a
depositary. ADRs and Foreign Stocks involve
certain investment risks that are different from
those experienced by stocks issued by domestic
issuers. These investment risks include potential
future political and economic developments and
the potential establishment of exchange controls,
new or higher levels of taxation, or other
governmental actions which might adversely affect
the payment or receipt of payment of dividends on
such Foreign Stocks and ADRs. ADRs and Foreign
Stocks may also be subject to current foreign
taxes, which could reduce the yield on such
securities. Also, certain foreign issuers are not
subject to reporting requirements under certain
U.S. securities laws and therefore may make less
information publicly available than that afforded
by their domestic counterparts. Further, foreign
issuers are not necessarily subject to uniform
financial reporting, auditing and accounting
standards, requirements and practices such as are
applicable to domestic issuers. These factors may
have an impact on general market prices for the
stocks of such issuers.
In addition, Foreign Stocks generally are
denominated in non-U.S. currency, and pay
dividends and trade in such foreign currency. The
securities underlying the ADRs held in the Trust
are also generally denominated, and pay
dividends, in foreign currency. An investment in
securities denominated and principally traded in
foreign currencies involves investment risk
substantially different than an investment in
securities that are denominated and principally
traded in U.S. dollars. This is due to currency
exchange rate risk, because the U.S. dollar value
of the Foreign Stocks and the shares underlying
the ADRs and of their dividends will vary with
the fluctuations in the U.S. dollar foreign
exchange rates for the relevant currency in which
the Foreign Stocks and the shares underlying the
ADRs are denominated. PaineWebber observes that
most foreign currencies have fluctuated widely in
value against the U.S. dollar for many reasons,
including the soundness of the world economy,
supply and demand of the relevant currency, and
the strength of the relevant regional economy as
compared to the economies of the United States
and other countries. Exchange rate fluctuations
are also dependent, in part, on a number of
economic factors including economic conditions
within the relevant country, interest rate
differentials between currencies, the balance of
imports and exports of goods and services, and
transfer of income and capital from one country
to another. These economic factors in turn are
influenced by a particular country's monetary and
fiscal policies, perceived political stability
(particularly with respect to transfer of
capital) and investor psychology, especially that
of institutional investors predicting the future
relative strength or weakness of a particular
currency. As a general rule, the currency of a
country with a low rate of inflation and a
favorable balance of trade should increase in
value relative to the currency of a country with
a high rate of inflation and deficits in the
balance of trade.
The foreign exchange transactions may be
conducted by the Trustee with foreign exchange
dealers acting as principals either on a spot
(i.e., cash) buying basis or on a forward foreign
exchange transaction on the date the Trust is due
to receive the applicable foreign currency, e.g.,
a dividend payment date for a Foreign Stock.
These forward foreign exchange transactions will
generally be of as short a duration as
practicable and will generally settle on the date
of receipt of the applicable foreign currency
involving specific receivables or payables of the
Trust accruing in connection with the purchase
and sale of its Foreign Stocks and income
received on the Foreign Stocks. These
transactions are accomplished by contracting to
purchase or sell a specific currency at a future
date and price set at the time of the contract.
The cost to the Trust of engaging in these
foreign currency transactions varies with such
factors as the currency involved, the length of
the contract period and the market conditions
then prevailing. The relevant exchange rate used
for evaluations of Foreign Stocks will include
the cost of buying or selling, as the case may
be, any forward foreign exchange contract in the
relevant security, if any are purchased or sold.
In general, foreign securities are not
registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and
may not be exempt from the registration
requirements of the Act. Sales of non-exempt
securities in United States securities markets
are subject to severe restrictions and may not be
practicable. Accordingly, sales of Foreign Stocks
will generally be effected by the Trustee only in
foreign securities markets. Although the Sponsor
does not believe that the Trust will encounter
obstacles in disposing of the Foreign Stocks,
investors should realize that the Foreign Stocks
may be traded in foreign countries where the
securities markets are not as developed or
efficient and may not be as liquid as those in
the United States. Even though the Foreign Stocks
are listed, the principal trading market for such
Foreign Stocks may be in the over-the-counter
market. As a result, the existence of a liquid
trading market for the Foreign Stocks may depend
on whether dealers will make a market in the
Foreign Stocks. There can be no assurance that a
market will be made for any of the Foreign
Stocks, that any market for the Foreign Stocks
will be maintained or that there will be
sufficient liquidity of the Foreign Stocks in any
markets so made. The price at which the Foreign
Stocks may be sold to meet redemptions and hence
the value of the Trust may be adversely affected
if trading markets for the Foreign Stock are
limited or absent.
Investors should note that the creation of
additional Units subsequent to the Initial Date
of Deposit may have an effect upon the value of
previously existing Units. To create additional
Units the Sponsor may deposit cash (or cash
equivalents, e.g., a bank letter of credit in
lieu of cash) with instructions to purchase
Securities in amounts sufficient to maintain, to
the extent practicable, the percentage
relationship among the Securities based on the
price of the securities at the Evaluation Time on
the date the cash is deposited. To the extent the
price of a Security or the relevant currency
exchange rate increases or decreases between the
time cash is deposited with instructions to
purchase the Security and the time the cash is
used to purchase the Security, Units will
represent less or more of that Security and more
or less of the other Securities in the Trust.
Unitholders will be at risk because of price and
currency fluctuations during this period since if
the price of shares of a Security increases,
Unitholders will have an interest in fewer shares
of that Security, and if the price of a Security
decreases, Unitholders will have an interest in
more shares of that Security, than if the
Security had been purchased on the date cash was
deposited with instructions to purchase the
Security. In order to minimize these effects, the
Trust will attempt to purchase Securities as
close as possible to the Evaluation Time or at
prices as close as possible to the prices used to
evaluate the Trust at the Evaluation Time. Thus
price and currency fluctuations during this
period will affect the value of every
Unitholder's Units and the income per Unit
received by the Trust. In addition, costs
incurred in connection with the acquisition of
Securities not listed on any national securities
exchange (due to differentials between bid and
offer prices for the Securities) and brokerage
fees, stamp taxes and other costs associated with
foreign trading incurred in purchasing Foreign
Stocks will be at the expense of the Trust and
will affect the value of every Unitholder's
Units.
In the event a contract to purchase a Stock to
be deposited on the Initial Date of Deposit or
any other date fails, cash held or available
under a letter or letters of credit, attributable
to such failed contract may be reinvested in
another stock or stocks having characteristics
sufficiently similar to the Stocks originally
deposited (in which case the original
proportionate relationship shall be adjusted) or,
if not so reinvested, distributed to Unitholders
of record on the last day of the month in which
the failure occurred. The distribution will be
made twenty days following such record date and,
in the event of such a distribution, the Sponsor
will refund to each Unitholder the portion of the
sales charge attributable to such failed
contract.
Because the Trust is organized as a unit
investment trust, rather than as a investment
company, the Trustee and the Sponsor do not have
authority to manage the Trust's fully in an
attempt to take advantage of various market
conditions to improve the Trust's asset value,
but may dispose of Securities only under limited
circumstances. (See the discussion below relating
to disposition of stocks which may be the subject
of a tender offer, merger or reorganization and
also the discussion under the caption
"Administration of the Trust--Portfolio
Supervision".)
Certain of the Stocks may be attractive
acquisition candidates pursuant to mergers,
acquisitions and tender offers. In general,
tender offers involve a bid by an issuer or other
acquiror to acquire a stock pursuant to the terms
of its offer. Payment generally takes the form of
cash, securities (typically bonds or notes), or
cash and securities. Pursuant to federal law a
tender offer must remain open for at least 20
days and withdrawal rights apply during the
entire offering period. Frequently offers are
conditioned upon a specified number of shares
being tendered and upon the obtaining of
financing. There may be other conditions to the
tender offer as well. Additionally, an offeror
may only be willing to accept a specified number
of shares. In the event a greater number of
shares is tendered, the offeror must take up and
pay for a pro rata portion of the shares
deposited by each depositor during the period the
offer remains open. The Agreement sets forth
criteria to be applied in the event of a tender
offer, merger or reorganization involving one or
more of the Stocks in the Trust.
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
The Trust intends to qualify for and elect tax
treatment as a "regulated investment company"
under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code"). By qualifying for and
electing such treatment, the Trust will not be
subject to federal income tax on taxable income
or net capital gains distributed to Unitholders
provided it distributes 90% or more of its
taxable income (exclusive of net capital gains).
However, a 4% excise tax is imposed on regulated
investment companies that fail to distribute all
but a de minimis amount of their income and gain.
The Trust intends to distribute all of its
income, including capital gains, annually.
The gross income of the Trust typically will
include dividends and gains on sales or other
dispositions of portfolio securities. In order to
maintain its qualification as a "regulated
investment company", the Trust must, among other
things (1) in the course of a taxable year derive
at least 90% of its gross income from dividends,
interest, gains on sales or other dispositions of
Securities and certain other sources (referred to
as "eligible sources"), (2) meet certain
diversification tests, and (3) distribute in each
year at least 90% of its investment company
taxable income. If during a taxable year it
appears that less than 90% of the Trust income
will be derived from eligible sources, the
Sponsor may direct the Trustee to sell Securities
which, upon the realization of sufficient
aggregate gain, will enable the Trust to maintain
its qualification as a regulated investment
company.
In any taxable year, the distributions of any
ordinary income (such as dividends) and the
excess of net short-term capital gains over net
long-term capital losses will be taxable as
ordinary income to Unitholders. A distribution
paid shortly after a purchase of shares may be
taxable even though, in effect, it may represent
a return of capital to Unitholders. A dividend
paid by the Trust in January will be considered
for federal income tax purposes to have been paid
by the Trust and received by the Unitholders on
the preceding December 31, if the dividend was
declared in the preceding October, November or
December to Unitholders of record in any one of
those months. Distributions which are taxable as
ordinary income to Unitholders will not
constitute dividends for purposes of the
dividends-received deduction for corporations
except for, and only to the extent of, a specific
designation by the Trust.
Distributions by the Trust that are designated
by it as capital gain distributions will be
taxable to Unitholders as long-term capital
gains, regardless of the length of time the Units
have been held by a Unitholder. Distributions
will not be taxable to Unitholders to the extent
that they represent a return of capital; such
distributions will, however, reduce a
Unitholder's basis in his Units, and to the
extent they exceed the basis of his Units will be
treated as gain from the sale of his Units. Any
loss realized by a Unitholder on the sale or
exchange of Units that are held by him for not
more than six months will be treated as a long-
term capital loss to the extent of any long-term
capital gain distributions paid to such
Unitholder with respect to such Units.
Capital gains realized by non corporate
taxpayers are generally taxable at a maximum rate
of 20% if the taxpayer has a holding period of
more than 12 months.
Unitholders will be taxed in the manner
described above regardless of whether
distributions from the Trust are actually
received by the Unitholder or are reinvested
pursuant to the reinvestment plan.
Withholding For Citizen or Resident Investors.
In the case of any non-corporate Unitholder that
is a citizen or resident of the United States, a
31 percent "backup" withholding tax will apply to
certain distributions of the Trust unless the
Unitholder properly completes and files under
penalties of perjury, IRS Form W-9 (or its
equivalent).
The foregoing discussion is a general summary
and relates only to certain aspects of the
federal income tax consequences of an investment
in the Trust for Unitholders who hold their Units
as capital assets. Unitholders may also be
subject to state and local taxation. Each
Unitholder should consult its own tax advisor
regarding the Federal, state and local tax
consequences to it of ownership of Units.
Investment in the Trust may be suited for
purchase by funds and accounts of individual
investors that are exempt from federal income
taxes such as Individual Retirement Accounts,
tax-qualified retirement plans including Keogh
Plans, and other tax-deferred retirement plans.
Unitholders desiring to purchase Units for tax-
deferred plans and IRA's should consult their
PaineWebber Investment Executive for details on
establishing such accounts. Units may also be
purchased by persons who already have self-
directed accounts established under tax-deferred
retirement plans.
PUBLIC OFFERING OF UNITS
Public Offering Price. The public offering price
per Unit is based on the aggregate market value
of the Stocks, including the U.S. dollar value of
the Foreign Stocks based on the applicable
currency exchange rate calculated at the
Evaluation Time, next determined after the
receipt of a purchase order, divided by the
number of Units outstanding plus the sales charge
set forth below. The public offering price per
Unit is computed by dividing the Trust Fund
Evaluation, next determined after receipt of a
purchase order by the number of Units outstanding
plus the sales charge. (See "Valuation".) The
Public Offering Price on the Initial Date of
Deposit or on any subsequent date will vary from
the Public Offering Price calculated on the
business day prior to the Initial Date of Deposit
due to fluctuations in the value of the Stocks,
the currency exchange rates and costs associated
with foreign trading.
Sales Charge and Volume Discount. Sales charges
for secondary market sales are set forth below. A
discount in the sales charge is available to
volume purchasers of Units due to economies of
scale in sales effort and sales related expenses
relating to volume purchases. The sales charge
applicable to volume purchasers of Units is
reduced on a graduated scale for sales to any
person of at least $50,000 or 5,000 Units,
applied on whichever basis is more favorable to
the purchaser.

* The sales charge applicable to volume
purchasers according to the table above will be
applied either on a dollar or Unit basis,
depending upon which basis provides a more
favorable purchase price to the purchaser.
The volume discount sales charge shown above
will apply to all purchases of Units on any one
day by the same person in the amounts stated
herein, and for this purpose purchases of Units
of this Trust will be aggregated with concurrent
purchases of any other trust which may be offered
by the Sponsor. Units held in the name of the
purchaser's spouse or in the name of a
purchaser's child under the age of 21 are deemed
for the purposes hereof to be registered in the
name of the purchaser. The reduced sales charges
are also applicable to a trustee or other
fiduciary purchasing Units for a single trust
estate or single fiduciary account.
Employee Discount. Due to the realization of
economies of scale in sales effort and sales
related expenses with respect to the purchase of
Units by employees of the Sponsor and its
affiliates, the Sponsor does not intend to impose
a sales charge on such employee sales.
Exchange Option. Unitholders may elect to
exchange any or all of their Units of this series
for units of one or more of any series of
PaineWebber Municipal Bond Fund Series (the
"PaineWebber Series"); The Municipal Bond Trust,
(the "National Series"); The Municipal Bond
Trust, Multi-State Program (the "Multi-State
Series); The Municipal Bond Trust, California
Series (the "California Series"); The Municipal
Bond Trust, Insured Series (the "Insured
Series"); The Corporate Bond Trust, (the
"Corporate Series"); The PaineWebber Pathfinders
Trust, (the "Pathfinders Series"), The
PaineWebber Federal Government Trust, (the
"Government Series") or the PaineWebber Equity
Trust, (the "Equity Series") (collectively
referred to as the "Exchange Trusts"), at a
Public Offering Price for the units of the
Exchange Trusts to be acquired based on a reduced
sales charge of $15 per unit. Unitholders of this
Trust are not eligible for the Exchange Option
into (1) any Exchange Trust designated as a
rollover series for the 30 day period prior to
termination of such Trust or (2) any Exchange
Trust subject to a deferred sales charge. The
purpose of such reduced sales charge is to permit
the Sponsor to pass on to the Unitholder who
wishes to exchange Units the cost savings
resulting from such exchange of Units. The cost
savings result from reductions in time and
expense related to advice, financial planning and
operational expense required for the Exchange
Option. Each Exchange Trust has different
investment objectives, therefore a Unitholder
should read the prospectus for the applicable
Exchange Trust carefully prior to exercising this
option. Exchange Trusts having as their objective
the receipt of tax-exempt interest income would
not be suitable for tax-deferred investment plans
such as Individual Retirement Accounts. A
Unitholder who purchased Units of a series and
paid a per unit sales charge that was less than
the per Unit sales charge of the series of
Exchange Trusts for which such Unitholder desires
to exchange into, will be allowed to exercise the
Exchange Option at the Unit Offering Price plus
the reduced sales charge, provided the Unitholder
has held the Units for at least five months. Any
such Unitholder who has not held the Units to be
exchanged for the five-month period will be
required to exchange them at the Unit Offering
Price plus a sales charge based on the greater of
the reduced sales charge, or an amount which,
together with the initial sales charge paid in
connection with the acquisition of the Units
being exchanged, equals the sales charge of the
series of the Exchange Trust for which such
Unitholder desires to exchange into, determined
as of the date of the exchange.
The Sponsor will permit exchanges at the reduced
sales charge provided there is either a primary
market for Units or a secondary market maintained
by the Sponsor in both the Units of this series
and units of the applicable Exchange Trust and
there are units of the applicable Exchange Trust
available for sale. While the Sponsor has
indicated that it intends to maintain a market
for the Units of the respective Trusts, there is
no obligation on its part to maintain such a
market. Therefore, there is no assurance that a
market for Units will in fact exist on any given
date at which a Unitholder wishes to sell his
Units of this series and thus there is no
assurance that the Exchange Option will be
available to a Unitholder. Exchanges will be
effected in whole Units only. Any excess proceeds
from Unitholders' Units being surrendered will be
returned. Unitholders will be permitted to
advance new money in order to complete an
exchange to round up to the next highest number
of Units. An exchange of Units pursuant to the
Exchange Option generally will constitute a
"taxable event" under the Code, i.e., a
Unitholder will recognize a tax gain or loss at
the time of exchange. Unitholders are urged to
consult their own tax advisors as to the tax
consequences to them of exchanging Units in
particular cases.
The Sponsor reserves the right to modify,
suspend or terminate this Exchange Option at any
time with notice to Unitholders. In the event the
Exchange Option is not available to a Unitholder
at the time he wishes to exercise it, the
Unitholder will be immediately notified and no
action will be taken with respect to his Units
without further instruction from the Unitholder.
To exercise the Exchange Option, a Unitholder
should notify the Sponsor of his desire to
exercise the Exchange Option and to use the
proceeds from the sale of his Units to the
Sponsor of this series to purchase Units of one
or more of the Exchange Trusts from the Sponsor.
If Units of the applicable outstanding series of
the Exchange Trust are at that time available for
sale, and if such Units may lawfully be sold in
the state in which the Unitholder is resident,
the Unitholder may select the series or group of
series for which he desires his investment to be
exchanged. The Unitholder will be provided with a
current prospectus or prospectuses relating to
each series in which he indicates interest.
The exchange transaction will operate in a
manner essentially identical to any secondary
market transaction, i.e., Units will be
repurchased at a price based on the market value
of the Securities in the portfolio of the Trust
next determined after receipt by the Sponsor of
an exchange request and properly endorsed
documents. Units of the Exchange Trust will be
sold to the Unitholder at a price based upon the
next determined market value of the Securities in
the Exchange Trust plus the reduced sales charge.
Exchange transactions will be effected only in
whole units; thus, any proceeds not used to
acquire whole units will be paid to the selling
Unitholder.
For example, assume that a Unitholder, who has
three thousand units of a trust with a current
price of $1.30 per unit, desires to sell his
units and seeks to exchange the proceeds for
units of a series of an Exchange Trust with a
current price of $890 per Unit based on the bid
prices of the underlying securities. In this
example, which does not contemplate any rounding
up to the next highest number of Units, the
proceeds from the Unitholder's Units would
aggregate $3,900. Since only whole units of an
Exchange Trust may be purchased under the
Exchange Option, the Unitholder would be able to
acquire four Units in the Exchange Trust for a
total cost of $3,620 ($3,560 for the Units and
$60 for the sales charge). If all 3,000 Units
were tendered, the remaining $280 would be
returned to the Unitholder.
Conversion Option. Owners of units of any
registered unit investment trust sponsored by
others which was initially offered at a maximum
applicable sales charge of at least 3.0% (a
"Conversion Trust") may elect to apply the cash
proceeds of the sale or redemption of those units
directly to acquire available units of any
Exchange Trust at a reduced sales charge of $15
per Unit, per 100 Units in the case of Exchange
Trusts having a Unit price of approximately $10,
or per 1,000 Units in the case of Exchange Trusts
having a Unit price of approximately $1, subject
to the terms and conditions applicable to the
Exchange Option (except that no secondary market
is required for Conversion Trust units). To
exercise this option, the owner should notify his
retail broker. He will be given a prospectus for
each series in which he indicates interest and
for which units are available. The dealer must
sell or redeem the units of the Conversion Trust.
Any dealer other than PaineWebber must certify
that the purchase of the units of the Exchange
Trust is being made pursuant to and is eligible
for the Conversion Option. The dealer will be
entitled to two thirds of the applicable reduced
sales charge. The Sponsor reserves the right to
modify, suspend or terminate the Conversion
Option at any time with notice, including the
right to increase the reduced sales charge
applicable to this option (but not in excess of
$5 more per Unit, per 100 Units or per 1,000
Units, as applicable than the corresponding fee
then being charged for the Exchange Option). For
a description of the tax consequences of a
conversion reference is made to the Exchange
Option section herein.
Distribution of Units. The minimum purchase is
$250. Only whole Units may be purchased.
The Sponsor is the sole underwriter of the
Units. Sales may, however, be made to dealers who
are members of the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD") at prices which
include a concession of $.30 per Unit at the
highest sales charge, subject to change from time
to time. The difference between the sales charge
and the dealer concession will be retained by the
Sponsor. In the event that the dealer concession
is 90% or more of the sales charge per Unit,
dealers taking advantage of such concession may
be deemed to be underwriters under the Securities
Act of 1933.
The Sponsor reserves the right to reject, in
whole or in part, any order for the purchase of
Units. The Sponsor intends to qualify the Units
in all states of the United States, the District
of Columbia and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.
Secondary Market for Units. While not obligated
to do so, the Sponsor intends to maintain a
secondary market for the Units and continuously
offer to purchase Units at the Trust Fund
Evaluation per Unit next computed after receipt
by the Sponsor of an order from a Unitholder. The
Sponsor may cease to maintain such a market at
any time, and from time to time, without notice.
In the event that a secondary market for the
Units is not maintained by the Sponsor, a
Unitholder desiring to dispose of Units may
tender such Units to the Trustee for redemption
at the price calculated in the manner set forth
under "Redemption". Redemption requests in excess
of $100,000 may be redeemed "in kind" as
described under "Redemption." The Sponsor does
not in any way guarantee the enforceability,
marketability, value or price of any of the
stocks in the Trust, nor that of the Units.
Investors should note the Trust Fund Evaluation
per Unit at the time of sale or tender for
redemption may be less than the price at which
the Unit was purchased.
The Sponsor may redeem any Units it has
purchased in the secondary market if it
determines for any reason that it is undesirable
to continue to hold these Units in its inventory.
Factors which the Sponsor may consider in making
this determination will include the number of
units of all series of all trusts which it holds
in its inventory, the saleability of the Units
and its estimate of the time required to sell the
Units and general market conditions.
A Unitholder who wishes to dispose of his Units
should inquire of his bank or broker as to
current market prices in order to determine if
over-the-counter prices exist in excess of the
redemption price and the repurchase price (see
"Redemption").
Sponsor's Profits. In addition to the applicable
sales charge, the Sponsor realizes a profit (or
sustains a loss) in the amount of any difference
between the cost, including foreign currency
rates, of the Stocks to the Sponsor and the
price, including foreign currency rates, at which
it deposits the Stocks in the Trust in exchange
for Units, which is the value of the Stocks,
determined by the Trustee as described under
"Valuation". The cost of Stock to the Sponsor
includes the amount paid by the Sponsor for
brokerage commissions. These amounts are an
expense of the Trust.
Cash, if any, received from Unitholders prior to
the settlement date for the purchase of Units or
prior to the payment for Securities upon their
delivery may be used in the Sponsor's business
subject to the limitations of Rule 15c3-3 under
the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 and may
be of benefit to the Sponsor.
In selling any Units in the initial public
offering after the Initial Date of Deposit, the
Sponsor may realize profits or sustain losses
resulting from fluctuations in the net asset
value of outstanding Units during the period. In
maintaining a secondary market for the Units, the
Sponsor may realize profits or sustain losses in
the amount of any differences between the price
at which it buys Units and the price at which it
resells or redeems such Units.
REDEMPTION
Units may be tendered to Investors Bank & Trust
Company for redemption at its office in person,
or by mail at Hancock Towers, 200 Clarendon
Street, Boston, MA 02116 upon payment of any
transfer or similar tax which must be paid to
effect the redemption. At the present time there
are no such taxes. No redemption fee will be
charged by the Sponsor or Trustee. If the Units
are represented by a certificate it must be
properly endorsed accompanied by a letter
requesting redemption. If held in uncertificated
form, a written instrument of redemption must be
signed by the Unitholder. Unitholders must sign
exactly as their names appear on the records of
the Trustee with signatures guaranteed by an
eligible guarantor institution or in such other
manner as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In
certain instances the Trustee may require
additional documents such as, but not limited to,
trust instruments, certificates of death,
appointments as executor or administrator, or
certificates of corporate authority. Unitholders
should contact the Trustee to determine whether
additional documents are necessary. Units
tendered to the Trustee for redemption will be
cancelled, if not repurchased by the Sponsor.
Units will be redeemed at the Redemption Value
per Unit next determined after receipt of the
redemption request in good order by the Trustee.
The Redemption Value per Unit is determined by
dividing the Trust Fund Evaluation by the number
of Units outstanding. (See "Valuation".)
A redemption request is deemed received on the
business day (see "Valuation" for a definition of
business day) when such request is received prior
to 4:00 p.m. If it is received after 4:00 p.m.,
it is deemed received on the next business day.
During the period in which the Sponsor maintains
a secondary market for Units, the Sponsor may
repurchase any Unit presented for tender to the
Trustee for redemption no later than the close of
business on the second business day following
such presentation and Unitholders will receive
the Redemption Value next determined after
receipt by the Trustee of the redemption request.
Proceeds of a redemption will be paid to the
Unitholder no later than the seventh calendar day
following the date of tender (or if the seventh
calendar day is not a business day on the first
business day prior thereto).
With respect to cash redemptions, amounts
representing income received shall be withdrawn
from the Income Account, and, to the extent such
balance is insufficient and for remaining
amounts, from the Capital Account. The Trustee is
empowered, to the extent necessary, to sell
Securities to meet redemptions. The Trustee will
sell Securities in such manner as is directed by
the Sponsor. In the event no such direction is
given, Stock will be sold pro rata, to the extent
possible, and if not possible Stocks having the
greatest amount of capital appreciation will be
sold first. (See "Administration of the Trust".)
However, with respect to redemption requests in
excess of $100,000, the Sponsor may determine in
its discretion to direct the Trustee to redeem
Units "in kind" by distributing Securities to the
redeeming Unitholder. When Stocks are so
distributed, a proportionate amount of each Stock
will be distributed, rounded to avoid the
distribution of fractional shares and using cash
or checks where rounding is not possible. The
Sponsor may direct the Trustee to redeem Units
"in kind" even if it is then maintaining a
secondary market in Units of the Trust.
Securities will be valued for this purpose as set
forth under "Valuation". A Unitholder receiving a
redemption "in kind" may incur brokerage or other
transaction costs in converting the Stock
distributed into cash. The availability of
redemption "in kind" is subject to compliance
with all applicable laws and regulations,
including the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
To the extent that Securities are redeemed in
kind or sold, the size and diversity of the Trust
will be reduced. Sales will usually be required
at a time when Securities would not otherwise be
sold and may result in lower prices than might
otherwise be realized. The price received upon
redemption may be more or less than the amount
paid by the Unitholder depending on the value of
the Securities in the portfolio at the time of
redemption. In addition, because of the minimum
amounts in which Securities are required to be
sold, the proceeds of sale may exceed the amount
required at the time to redeem Units; these
excess proceeds will be distributed to
Unitholders on the Distribution Dates.
The Trustee may, in its discretion, and will,
when so directed by the Sponsor, suspend the
right of redemption, or postpone the date of
payment of the Redemption Value, for more than
seven calendar days following the day of tender
for any period during which the New York Stock
Exchange, Inc. is closed other than for weekend
and holiday closings; or for any period during
which the Securities and Exchange Commission
determined that trading on the New York Stock
Exchange, Inc. is restricted or for any period
during which an emergency exists as a result of
which disposal or evaluation of the Securities is
not reasonably practicable; or for such other
period as the Securities and Exchange Commission
may by order permit for the protection of
Unitholders. The Trustee is not liable to any
person or in any way for any loss or damages
which may result from any such suspension or
postponement, or any failure to suspend or
postpone when done in the Trustee's discretion.
VALUATION
The Trustee will calculate the Trust's value
(the "Trust Fund Evaluation") per Unit at the
Evaluation Time set forth under "Summary of
Essential Information Regarding the Trust" (1) on
each business day as long as the Sponsor is
maintaining a bid in the secondary market, (2) on
the business day on which any Unit is tendered
for redemption, (3) on any other day desired by
the Sponsor or the Trustee and (4) upon
termination, by adding (a) the aggregate value of
the Securities and other assets determined by the
Trustee as set forth below and (b) cash on hand
in the Trust and dividends receivable on Stock
trading ex-dividend (other than any cash held in
any reserve account established under the
Indenture) and deducting therefrom the sum of (x)
taxes or other governmental charges against the
Trust not previously deducted, (y) accrued fees
and expenses of the Trustee and the Sponsor
(including legal and auditing expenses) and other
Trust expenses. The per Unit Trust Fund
Evaluation is calculated by dividing the result
of such computation by the number of Units
outstanding as of the date thereof. Business days
do not include Saturdays, Sundays, New Year's
Day, Martin Luther King, Jr.'s Day, Presidents'
Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day,
Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day and
other days that the New York Stock Exchange is
closed.
The value of Stocks shall be determined by the
Trustee in good faith in the following manner:
(1) if the domestic Stocks are listed on one or
more national securities exchanges or on the
National Market System maintained by the National
Association of Securities Dealers Automated
Quotations System or if the Foreign Stocks are
listed on a similar securities exchange or
system, such evaluation shall be based on the
closing sale price on that day (unless the
Trustee deems such price inappropriate as a basis
for evaluation) on the exchange which is the
principal market thereof (deemed to be the New
York Stock Exchange in the case of the domestic
Stocks if such Stocks are listed thereon), (2) if
there is no such appropriate closing sales price
on such exchange or system, at the mean between
the closing bid and asked prices on such exchange
or system (unless the Trustee deems such price
inappropriate as a basis for evaluation), (3) if
the Stocks are not so listed or, if so listed and
the principal market therefor is other than on
such exchange or there are no such appropriate
closing bid and asked prices available, such
evaluation shall be made by the Trustee in good
faith based on the closing sale price in the
over-the-counter market (unless the Trustee deems
such price inappropriate as a basis for
evaluation) or (4) if there is no such
appropriate closing price, then (a) on the basis
of current bid prices, (b) if bid prices are not
available, on the basis of current bid prices for
comparable securities, (c) by the Trustee's
appraising the value of the Stock in good faith
on the bid side of the market or (d) by any
combination thereof. The evaluation of Foreign
Stocks will be based on the U.S. dollar
equivalent calculated at the relevant exchange
rate for such Stocks. The relevant exchange rate
used for such evaluations will include the cost
of any forward foreign exchange contract in the
relevant currency, if any, purchased by the
Trustee pursuant to the terms of the agreement.
The tender of a Stock pursuant to a tender offer
will not affect the method of valuing such Stock.
COMPARISON OF PUBLIC OFFERING PRICE AND REDEMPTION VALUE
On the business day prior to the Initial Date of
Deposit, the Public Offering Price per Unit
(which figure includes the sales charge) exceeded
the Redemption Value (see "Essential
Information"). The prices of the Securities are
expected to vary. For this reason and others,
including the fact that the Public Offering Price
includes the sales charge, the amount realized by
a Unitholder upon redemption of Units may be less
than the price paid by the Unitholder for such
Units.
EXPENSES OF THE TRUST
The cost of the preparation and printing of the
Indenture and this Prospectus, the initial fees
of the Trustee, advertising expenses and expenses
incurred in establishing the Trust, including
legal and auditing fees, are paid by the Sponsor
and not by the Trust. The Sponsor will receive no
fee from the Trust for its services as Sponsor.
The Sponsor will receive a fee, which is earned
for portfolio supervisory services, and which is
based upon the largest number of Units
outstanding during the calendar year. The
Sponsor's fee, which is not to exceed $.0025 per
Unit per calendar year, may exceed the actual
costs of providing portfolio supervisory services
for the Trust, but at no time will the total
amount it receives for portfolio supervisory
services rendered to all series of the
PaineWebber Equity Trust in any calendar year
exceed the aggregate cost to it of supplying such
services in such year.
For its services as Trustee and Evaluator, the
Trustee will be paid in monthly installments,
annually $.0170 per Unit, based on the largest
number of Units outstanding during the previous
month. In addition, the regular and recurring
expenses of the Trust are estimated to be $.0335
per Unit annually which include, but are not
limited to certain mailing, printing, and audit
expenses. Expenses in excess of this estimate
will be borne by the Trust. The Trustee could
also benefit to the extent that it may hold funds
in non-interest bearing accounts created by the
Indenture.
The Sponsor's fee and Trustee's fee may be
increased without approval of the Unitholders by
an amount not exceeding a proportionate increase
in the category entitled "All Services Less Rent"
in the Consumer Price Index published by the
United States Department of Labor or, if the
Price Index is no longer published, a similar
index as determined by the Trustee and Sponsor.
In addition to the above, the following charges
are or may be incurred by each Trust and paid
from the Income Account, or, to the extent funds
are not available in such Account, from the
Capital Account (see "Administration of the
Trust--Accounts"): (1) fees for the Trustee for
extraordinary services; (2) expenses of the
Trustee (including legal and auditing expenses)
and of counsel; (3) various governmental charges;
(4) expenses and costs of any action taken by the
Trustee to protect the trusts and the rights and
interests of the Unitholders; (5) indemnification
of the Trustee for any loss, liabilities or
expenses incurred by it in the administration of
the Trust without gross negligence, bad faith or
wilful misconduct on its part; (6) brokerage
commissions and other expenses incurred in
connection with the purchase and sale of
Securities; (7) expenses incurred in holding and
trading Foreign Stocks outside the United States;
and (8) expenses incurred upon termination of the
Trust. In addition, to the extent then permitted
by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the
Trust may incur expenses of maintaining
registration or qualification of the Trust or the
Units under Federal or state securities laws so
long as the Sponsor is maintaining a secondary
market (including, but not limited to, legal,
auditing and printing expenses).
The accounts of the Trust shall be audited not
less than annually by independent public
accountants selected by the Sponsor. The expenses
of the audit shall be an expense of the Trust. So
long as the Sponsor maintains a secondary market,
the Sponsor will bear any annual audit expense
which exceeds $.0050 per Unit. Unitholders
covered by the audit during the year may receive
a copy of the audited financials upon request.
The fees and expenses set forth above are
payable out of the Trust and when unpaid will be
secured by a lien on the Trust. Based upon the
last dividend paid prior to the Initial Date of
Deposit, dividends on the Stocks are expected to
be sufficient to pay the entire amount of
estimated expenses of the Trust. To the extent
that dividends paid with respect to the Stocks
are not sufficient to meet the expenses of the
Trust, the Trustee is authorized to sell
Securities to meet the expenses of the Trust.
Securities will be selected in the same manner as
is set forth under "Redemption".
RIGHTS OF UNITHOLDERS
Ownership of Units is evidenced by recordation
on the books of the Trustee. In order to avoid
additional operating costs and for investor
convenience, certificates will not be issued
unless a request, in writing with signature
guaranteed by an eligible guarantor institution
or in such other manner as may be acceptable to
the Trustee, is delivered by the Unitholder to
the Sponsor. Issued Certificates are transferable
by presentation and surrender to the Trustee at
its office in Boston, Massachusetts properly
endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument
or instruments of transfer. Uncertificated Units
are transferable by presentation to the Trustee
at its office in Boston of a written instrument
of transfer.
Certificates may be issued in denominations of
one Unit or any integral multiple thereof as
deemed appropriate by the Trustee. A Unitholder
may be required to pay $2.00 per certificate
reissued or transferred, and shall be required to
pay any governmental charge that may be imposed
in connection with each such transfer or
interchange. For new certificates issued to
replace destroyed, mutilated, stolen or lost
certificates, the Unitholder must furnish
indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee and must
pay such expenses as the Trustee may incur.
Mutilated certificates must be surrendered to the
Trustee for replacement.
DISTRIBUTIONS
The Trustee will distribute net dividends and
interest, if any, from the Income Account on the
quarterly Distribution Dates to Unitholders of
record on the preceding Record Date.
Distributions from the Capital Account will be
made on annual Distribution Dates to Unitholders
of record on the preceding Record Date.
Distributions of less than $.05 per Unit need not
be made from the Capital Account on any
Distribution Date. See "Essential Information".
Whenever required for regulatory or tax purposes,
the Trustee will make special distributions of
any dividends or capital on special Distribution
Dates to Unitholders of record on special Record
Dates declared by the Trustee.
Upon termination of the Trust, each Unitholder
of record on such date will receive his pro rata
share of the amounts realized upon disposition of
the Securities plus any other assets of the
Trust, less expenses of the Trust. (See
"Termination".)
ADMINISTRATION OF THE TRUST
Accounts. All dividends and interest received on
Securities, proceeds from the sale of Securities
or other moneys received by the Trustee on behalf
of the Trust may be held in trust in non-interest
bearing accounts until required to be disbursed.
The Trustee will credit on its books to an
Income Account dividends, if any, and interest
income, on Securities in the Trust. All other
receipts (i.e., return of principal and gains)
are credited on its books to a Capital Account. A
record will be kept of qualifying dividends
within the Income Account. The pro rata share of
the Income Account and the pro rata share of the
Capital Account represented by each Unit will be
computed by the Trustee as set forth under
"Valuation".
The Trustee will deduct from the Income Account
and, to the extent funds are not sufficient
therein, from the Capital Account, amounts
necessary to pay expenses incurred by the Trust.
(See "Expenses and Charges.") In addition, the
Trustee may withdraw from the Income Account and
the Capital Account such amounts as may be
necessary to cover redemption of Units by the
Trustee. (See "Redemption.")
The Trustee may establish reserves (the "Reserve
Account") within the Trust for state and local
taxes, if any, and any other governmental charges
payable out of the Trust.
Reports and Records. With any distribution from
the Trust, Unitholders will be furnished with a
statement setting forth the amount being
distributed from each account.
The Trustee keeps records and accounts of the
Trust at its office in Boston, including records
of the names and addresses of Unitholders, a
current list of underlying Securities in the
portfolio and a copy of the Indenture. Records
pertaining to a Unitholder or to the Trust (but
not to other Unitholders) are available to the
Unitholder for inspection at reasonable times
during business hours.
Within sixty (60) days after the end of each
calendar year, the Trustee will furnish each
person who was a Unitholder at any time during
the calendar year an annual report containing the
following information, expressed in reasonable
detail both as a dollar amount and as a dollar
amount per Unit: (1) a summary of transactions
for such year in the Income and Capital Accounts
and any Reserves; (2) any Securities sold during
the year and the Securities held at the end of
such year; (3) the Trust Fund Evaluation per
Unit, based upon a computation thereof on the
31st day of December of such year (or the last
business day prior thereto); and (4) amounts
distributed to Unitholders during such year.
Portfolio Supervision. The portfolio of the
Trust is not "managed" by the Sponsor or the
Trustee; their activities described herein are
governed solely by the provisions of the
Indenture. The Indenture provides that the
Sponsor may (but need not) direct the Trustee to
dispose of a Security:
(1) upon the failure of the issuer to declare or
pay anticipated dividends or interest;
(2) upon the institution of a materially adverse
action or proceeding at law or in equity seeking
to restrain or enjoin the declaration or payment
of dividends on any such Securities or the
existence of any other materially adverse legal
question or impediment affecting such Securities
or the declaration or payment of dividends on the
same;
(3) upon the breach of covenant or warranty in
any trust indenture or other document relating to
the issuer which might materially and adversely
affect either immediately or contingently the
declaration or payment of dividends on such
Securities;
(4) upon the default in the payment of principal
or par or stated value of, premium, if any, or
income on any other outstanding securities of the
issuer or the guarantor of such Securities which
might materially and adversely, either
immediately or contingently, affect the
declaration or payment of dividends on the
Securities;
(5) upon the decline in price or the occurrence
of any materially adverse credit factors, that in
the opinion of the Sponsor, make the retention of
such Securities not in the best interest of the
Unitholder;
(6) upon a public tender offer being made for a
Security, or a merger or acquisition being
announced affecting a Security that in the
opinion of the Sponsor make the sale or tender of
the Security in the best interests of the
Unitholders (as further described under "Risk
Factors and Special Considerations" herein);
(7) upon a decrease in the Sponsor's internal
rating of the Security; or
(8) upon the happening of events which, in the
opinion of the Sponsor, negatively affect the
economic fundamentals of the issuer of the
Security or the industry of which it is a part.
Securities may also be sold in the manner
described under "The Trust". The Trustee may
dispose of Securities where necessary to pay
Trust expenses or to satisfy redemption requests
as directed by the Sponsor, and the proceeds of
such sale may not be reinvested.
Reinvestment. Cash received upon the sale of
Stock (including sales to meet redemption
requests) and dividends received will not be
reinvested and will be held in a non-interest
bearing account until distribution on the next
Distribution Date to Unitholders of record.
AMENDMENT OF THE INDENTURE
The Indenture may be amended by the Trustee and
the Sponsor without the consent of any of the
Unitholders to cure any ambiguity or to correct
or supplement any provision thereof which may be
defective or inconsistent or to make such other
provisions as will not adversely affect the
interest of the Unitholders.
The Indenture may be amended in any respect by
the Sponsor and the Trustee with the consent of
the holders of 51% of the Units then outstanding;
provided that no such amendment shall (1) reduce
the interest in the Trust represented by a Unit
or (2) reduce the percentage of Unitholders
required to consent to any such amendment,
without the consent of all Unitholders.
The Trustee will promptly notify Unitholders of
the substance of any amendment affecting
Unitholders' rights or their interest in the
Trust.
TERMINATION OF THE TRUST
The Indenture provides that the Trust will
terminate on the Mandatory Termination Date. If
the value of the Trust as shown by any evaluation
is less than fifty per cent (50%) of the market
value of the Stocks upon completion of the
deposit of Stocks, the Trustee may in its
discretion, and will when so directed by the
Sponsor, terminate such Trust. The Trust may also
be terminated at any time by the written consent
of 51% of the Unitholders or by the Trustee upon
the resignation or removal of the Sponsor if the
Trustee determines termination to be in the best
interest of the unitholders. In no event will the
Trust continue beyond the Mandatory Termination
Date.
Unless advised to the contrary by the Sponsor,
approximately 20 days prior to the termination of
the Trust the Trustee will begin to sell the
Securities held in the Trust and will then, after
deduction of any fees and expenses of the Trust
and payment into the Reserve Account of any
amount required for taxes or other governmental
charges that may be payable by the Trust,
distribute to each Unitholder, after due notice
of such termination, such Unitholder's pro rata
share in the Income and Capital Accounts. Moneys
held upon the sale of Securities may be held in
non-interest bearing accounts created by the
Indenture until distributed and will be of
benefit to the Trustee. The sale of Securities in
the Trust in the period prior to termination may
result in a lower amount than might otherwise be
realized if such sale were not required at such
time due to impending or actual termination of
the Trust. For this reason, among others, the
amount realized by a Unitholder upon termination
may be less than the amount paid by such
Unitholder.
SPONSOR
The Sponsor, PaineWebber Incorporated, is a
corporation organized under the laws of the State
of Delaware. The Sponsor is a member firm of the
New York Stock Exchange, Inc. as well as other
major securities and commodities exchanges and is
a member of the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. The Sponsor is engaged
in a security and commodity brokerage business as
well as underwriting and distributing new issues.
The Sponsor also acts as a dealer in unlisted
securities and municipal bonds and in addition to
participating as a member of various selling
groups or as an agent of other investment
companies, executes orders on behalf of
investment companies for the purchase and sale of
securities of such companies and sells securities
to such companies in its capacity as a broker or
dealer in securities.
The Indenture provides that the Sponsor will not
be liable to the Trustee, the Trust or to the
Unitholders for taking any action or for
refraining from taking any action made in good
faith or for errors in judgment, but will be
liable only for its own willful misfeasance, bad
faith, gross negligence or willful disregard of
its duties. The Sponsor will not be liable or
responsible in any way for depreciation or loss
incurred by reason of the sale of any Securities
in the Trust.
The Indenture is binding upon any successor to
the business of the Sponsor. The Sponsor may
transfer all or substantially all of its assets
to a corporation or partnership which carries on
the business of the Sponsor and duly assumes all
the obligations of the Sponsor under the
Indenture. In such event the Sponsor shall be
relieved of all further liability under the
Indenture.
If the Sponsor fails to undertake any of its
duties under the Indenture, becomes incapable of
acting, becomes bankrupt, or has its affairs
taken over by public authorities, the Trustee may
either appoint a successor Sponsor or Sponsors to
serve at rates of compensation determined as
provided in the Indenture or terminate the
Indenture and liquidate the Trust.
TRUSTEE
The Co-Trustees are The First National Bank of
Chicago, a national banking association with its
corporate trust office at One First National

of Banks, the Federal Deposit Insurance

Federal Reserve System).
The Indenture provides that the Trustee will not
be liable for any action taken in good faith in
reliance on properly executed documents or the
disposition of moneys, Securities or Certificates
or in respect of any valuation which it is
required to make, except by reason of its own
gross negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct, nor will the Trustee be liable or
responsible in any way for depreciation or loss
incurred by reason of the sale by the Trustee of
any Securities in the Trust. In the event of the
failure of the Sponsor to act, the Trustee may
act and will not be liable for any such action
taken by it in good faith. The Trustee will not
be personally liable for any taxes or other
governmental charges imposed upon or in respect
of the Securities or upon the interest thereon or
upon it as Trustee or upon or in respect of the
Trust which the Trustee may be required to pay
under any present or future law of the United
States of America or of any other taxing
authority having jurisdiction. In addition, the
Indenture contains other customary provisions
limiting the liability of the Trustee. The

against any loss or liability accruing to it
without gross negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct on its part, arising out of or in
connection with its acceptance or administration
of the Trust, including the costs and expenses
(including counsel fees) of defending itself

Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have served as counsel for PaineWebber Incorporated as
sponsor and depositor (the "Depositor") of PaineWebber
Equity Trust, Growth Stock Series 16
(hereinafter referred to as the "Trust"). It is proposed that
Post-Effective Amendment No. 4 to the Trust's registration statement
("Post-Effective Amendment No. 4") will be filed with the Securities
and Exchange and dated as of the date hereof in connection with the
continued issuance by the Trust of an indefinite number of units of
fractional undivided interest in the Trust (hereinafter referred
to as the "Units") pursuant to Rule 24f-2 promulgated under the
provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
In this regard, we have examined executed originals or copies of the
following:
(a) The Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and the
By-Laws of the Depositor, as amended;
(b) Resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Depositor adopted on
December 3, 1971 relating to the Trust and the sale of the Units;
(c) Resolutions of the Executive Committee of the Depositor adopted
on September 24, 1984;
(d) Powers of Attorney referred to in the Amendment;
(e) Post-Effective Amendment No. 4 to the Registration Statement on
Form S-6 (File No. 33-54569) to be filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Commission") in accordance with
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and
regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder
(collectively, the "1933 Act") proposed to be filed on or about the
date hereof (the "Amendment");
(f) The Notification of Registration of the Trust filed with the
Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended (collectively, the "1940 Act") on Form N-8A, as
amended;
(g) The registration of the Trust filed with the Commission under the
1940 Act on Form N-8B-2 (File No. 811-4158), as amended;
(h) The prospectus included in the Amendment (the "Prospectus");
(i) The Standard Terms and Conditions of the Trust dated as of
July 10, 1990, as amended, among the Depositor, and
Investors Bank & Trust Company and the First National Bank of Chicago
(the "Trustee"), as successor Co-Trustee, (the "Standard
Terms");
(j) The Trust Indenture dated as of the Initial Date of Deposit, among
the Depositor, the Co-Trustees and the Evaluator (the "Trust
Indenture" and, collectively with the Standard Terms, the
"Indenture and Agreement");
(k) The form of certificate of ownership for units (the "Certificate") to
be issued under the Indenture and Agreement; and
(l) Such other pertinent records and documents as we have deemed
necessary.
With your permission, in such examination, we have assumed
the following: (a) the authenticity of original documents and the
genuineness of all signatures; (b) the conformity to the originals of
all documents submitted to us as copies; (c) the truth, accuracy,
and completeness of the information, representations, and warranties
contained in the records, documents, instruments and certificates we
have reviewed; (d) except as specifically covered in the opinions set
forth below, the due authorization, execution, and delivery on behalf
of the respective parties thereto of documents referred to herein and
the legal, valid, and binding effect thereof on such parties; and (e)
the absence of any evidence extrinsic to the provisions of the written
agreement(s) between the parties that the parties intended a
meaning contrary to that expressed by those provisions. However,
we have not examined the securities deposited pursuant to the
Indenture and Agreement (the "Securities") nor the contracts for the
Securities.
We express no opinion as to matters of law in jurisdictions other
than the State of New York (except "Blue Sky" laws) and the federal laws
of the United States, except to the extent necessary to render the
opinion as to the Depositor in paragraph (i) below with respect to
Delaware law. As you know we are not licensed to practice law in the
State of Delaware, and our opinion in paragraph (i) and (iii) as to
Delaware law is based solely on review of the official statutes of the
State of Delaware.
Based upon such examination, and having regard for legal
considerations which we deem relevant, we are of the opinion that:
(i) The Depositor is a corporation duly organized, validly existing, and
in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware with full
corporate power to conduct its business as described in the
Prospectus;
(ii) The Depositor is duly qualified as a foreign corporation and is in
good standing as such within the State of New York;
(iii)The terms and provisions of the Units conform in all material
respects to the description thereof contained in the Prospectus;
(iv) The consummation of the transactions contemplated under the
Indenture and Agreement and the fulfillment of the terms thereof
will not be in violation of the Depositor's Restated Certificate of
Incorporation, as amended, or By-Laws, as amended and will not
conflict with any applicable laws or regulations applicable to the
Depositor in effect on the date hereof; and
(v) The Certificates to be issued by the Trust, when duly executed by
the Depositor and the Trustee in accordance with the Indenture
and Agreement, upon delivery against payment therefor as
described in the Prospectus will constitute fractional undivided
interests in the Trust enforceable against the Trust in accordance
with their terms, will be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture
and Agreement and will be fully paid and non-assessable.
Our opinion that any document is valid, binding, or enforceable in
accordance with its terms is qualified as to:
(a) limitations imposed by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
arrangement, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium, or other laws
relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights
generally;
(b) rights to indemnification and contribution which may be limited by
applicable law or equitable principles; and
(c) general principles of equity, regardless of whether such
enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.
We hereby represent that the Amendment contains no disclosure
which would render it ineligible to become effective immediately
upon filing pursuant to paragraph (b) of Rule 485 of the
Commission.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to
the Amendment and to the use of our name wherever it appears in
the Amendment and the Prospectus.
Very truly yours,
/s/ CARTER, LEDYARD & MILBURN
